Gigabyte has drastically revamped its 2022 notebooks with new internals and external features. This goes for both its gaming and productivity notebooks. The Gigabyte 2022 gaming notebooks come in a range of models that include 17-inch and 15-inch Aorus devices. Both the 17-inch and 15-inch models pack similar internal specs but of course, come with different screen sizes. There’s also a range of new AERO Creator notebooks that now come with MiniLED displays which is great news for creators.
The biggest news here is the fact that these new Gigabyte 2022 notebooks pack a new design. Gigabyte has used the same notebook chassis for over two years now across most of its range, so it is nice to see these new notebooks switching things up. While the design change isn’t dramatic, it is something. Take a look at the full range of notebooks below.

Gigabyte Aorus 17 2022 Gaming Notebooks
The Gigabyte Aorus 17 come in three configurations. The Aorus 17 YE, XE and KE. The notebooks are mainly the same when it comes to the external design and features. However, each model packs a different GPU depending on the unit. The Gigabyte Aorus YE is top-of-the-range and packs an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 16 GB (115W), the XE has an RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB (115W), and the KE packs an RTX 3060 6 GB (100W).
These models have various options when it comes to configurations. This includes packing them with up to 64GB of DDR-4800 RAM and expanding the storage with two M.2 SSD slots. These SSD slots are Gen 4×4 compatible. All three models also come with a 99Wh battery and 17.3-inch FHD 360Hz displays.

The 15-inch models can be configured with either an FHD 360Hz display or a QHD 165Hz panel.
